Trans States Classes
even a bare minimums FO takes more time than many FOs TSA already have. Now it takes an ATP to get hired, 3-4 months to get trained/typed/online and then 1-2 years to get that 1000 121 time required for a "bare minimums" 2500 hour. We have many FOs below even this threshold. and consider that a... -

Trans States Classes
I'm an FO at TSA with double+ time needed for upgrade, with the first CQFO class having started this past week that means I get Captain's paychecks starting from 60 days (Feb 1). I'm happy. Take your sweet-ass time with a classdate, don't care; I'm building paychecks not time anymore. and when... -

Trans States Classes
well, insurance companies are involved as well. Those details are not open to me. Total time required is 3500. it's a simple calculus really; got the time get upgraded. the company does not have a lot of flexibility to reduce these hours much. I'm aware of 3 year FOs on property that lack the... -

yeah and it's a way to get a lot more than your standard FO when working that seat -

Trans States Classes
Yes, there is a seniority list, of course, but even if they upgraded ALL the FOs on that list NOW they would still be short Captains AND FOs. and nevermind that maybe 50% of the FOs here now (more?) lack the time to be a 121 PIC per FAA requirements, not company. and yes, the CQFOs go on the... -

Trans States Classes
the requirements for 1000 121/135 are FAA mandate. TSA cannot waive that regardless. The FOs we have know that and are not pissed, just hoping to get the time they need soonest as upgrades are so quick, now. They are offering CQFOs to FNGs because they need FOS AND Captains. NOW. Guys will come... -

Trans States Classes
they would prefer to upgrade FOs, they all have ATP mins to even get hired but lack the total time and 121/135 time required to be captain and it takes a new hire FO maybe a couple years +/- to get the required time. TSA needs a LOT of pilots NOW to staff these 51 planes coming that more than... -

Trans States Classes
TSA has 51 planes coming next year. They need a LOT of pilots. Now. This more than doubles the size of the company/pilot group and with many FOs lacking time to upgrade street captains in the very near term are all but certain. They have classes ongoing now, are hiring/interviewing now. Spread... -

Fedex incident in NRT right now.. anyone heard anything?
There was another crash a while back where the raw facts that came out the first day indicated also in a clear and unambiguous manner that the principle cause was pilot error, blatant lack of basic flying skills. I said as much on a message board also then that the cause was clear. At that time... -

Fedex incident in NRT right now.. anyone heard anything?
Yeah right, whatever... It's very clear that it was pilot stupidity and incompetence that caused this crash. If you think otherwise it is as obvious that you did not see the same video I did and/or have never flown the MD11. This was boneheaded pilot mistakes of the sort to be expected from a... -

Fedex incident in NRT right now.. anyone heard anything?
Yeah, it's really unfortunate that an honest, unemotional discussion of what COULD have happened is not possible on an open website anymore. I remember the good-ole-days on AVSIG when intelligent speculation by knowledgeable people could give reasonable, intelligent possibilities oftentimes... -

What do you have in mind? And How/where do you think you are going to have a shot at an MD11 job now in this market? WIthout experience and a type already? There exists 195 of these planes in service worldwide and there is no new hiring that I'm aware of but the one I am at and they want... -

Help Wanted: MD11 Pilots
Base pay is $5750/month, The rest is perdiem and housing, $60/day and $1250/month respectively. Perdiem and housing are exempt from the IRS calculations. The agency I'm working with says nothing about taxes; that is your own responsibility. The above post is correct from IRS sources. So long as...- tjsatter

Help Wanted: MD11 Pilots
Ethiopian Airlines needs additional MD11-Typed pilots, FOs. they are all fixed for captains. If you have an MD11 type, PC current within 3 months OR are willing to get recurrent at your own expense (yeah, this sux, but...). It's a 1-2 year deal out of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. And it pays out...- tjsatter
